Low-Power, Slew-Rate-Limited RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
DESCRIPTION
The MAX485 is a half-duplex transceiver that meets the
specifications of RS-485 and RS-422. Its BiCMOS
design allows low power operation without sacrificing
performance. The MAX485 meets the requirements of
the RS-485 and RS-422 protocols up to 5Mbps
underload. The ESD tolerance is more than
±8kV
for
both Human Body Model and
±15kV
for IEC61000-4-2
Air Discharge Method on this device.
